preface. 


THE  needs  of  our  missionaries,  Home  and  Inner, 
and  the  requirements  of  our  congregational 
organizations,  have  been  the  determining  fac- 
tors in  the  production  of  this  little  hymnal. 

Some  hymns  have  been  incorporated  not  hereto- 
fore used  in  any  of  our  hymnals,  but  though  new 
to  our  Synodical  hymnody,  they  are  not  new  to  most 
of  our  people.  The  requirements  of  our  growing  In- 
ner Mission  work  decided  the  adoption  of  a  few  of 
these.  Others  were  selected  because  of  the  expres- 
sion they  give  to  Christian  experience,  and  the  call 
they  give  to  Christian  consecration  and  service. 

'Therefore  the  redeemed  of  the  Lord  shall  re- 
turn, and  come  with  singing  unto  Zion;  and  everlast- 
ing joy  shall  be  upon  their  heads;  they  shall  obtain 
gladness  and  joy,  and  sorrow  and  mourning  shall 
flee  away." 

As  a  contribution  the  object  of  which  is  to  help 
all  who  will  to  "Sing  to  the  honor  of  His  Name/' 
and  with  the  prayer  that  the  blessing  of  the  Master 
may  rest  on  the  singer  and  the  song,  this  little  musical 
manual  is  given  to  the  church.

Scripture  Xeseons. 


Blessed  is  the  man  that  walketh  not  in  the  coun- 
sel of  the  ungodly,  nor  standeth  in  the  way  of  sin- 
ners, nor  sitteth  in  the  seat  of  the  scornful. 

But  his  delight  is  in  the  law  of  the  Lord,  and 
in  his  law  doth  he  meditate  day  and  night. 

And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree  planted  by  the  rivers 
of  water,  that  bringeth  forth  his  fruit  in  his  season; 
his  leaf  also  shall  not  wither,  and  whatsoever  he 
doeth  shall  prosper. 

The  ungodly  are  not  so;  but  are  like  the  chaff 
which  the  wind  driveth  away. 

Therefore  the  ungodly  shall  not  stand  in  the  judg- 
ment, nor  sinners  in  the  congregation  of  the  right- 
eous. 

For  the  Lord  knoweth  the  way  of  the  righteous, 
but  the  way  of  the  ungodly  shall  perish. 

{taaim  10. 

The  heavens  declare  the  glory  of  God;  and  the 
firmament  showeth  his  handywork. 

Day  unto  day  uttereth  speech :  and  night  unto 
night  showeth  knowledge. 

There  is  no  speech  nor  language:  where  their 
voice  is  not  heard. 

Their  line  is  gone  out  through  all  the  earth: 
and  their  words  to  the  end  of  the  world. 

(11) 


12  &tv\ptuxt  Hwwma. 

The  law  of  the  Lord  is  perfect,  converting  the 
soul :  the  testimony  of  the  Lord  is  sure,  making  wise 
the  simple. 

The  statutes  of  the  Lord  are  right,  rejoicing  the 
heart:  the  commandment  of  the  Lord  is  pure  enlight- 
ening the  eyes. 

The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  clean,  enduring  forever: 
the  judgments  of  the  Lord  are  true  and  righteous 
altogether. 

More  to  be  desired  are  they  than  gold,  yea,  than 
much  fine  gold:  sweeter  also  than  honey  and  the 
honeycomb. 

Moreover,  by  them  is  thy  servant  warned:  and 
in  keeping  of  them  there  is  great  reward. 

Who  can  understand  his  errors?  Cleanse  thou 
me  from  secret  faults. 

Let  the  words  of  my  mouth,  and  the  meditations 
of  my  heart  be  acceptable  in  thy  sight,  O  Lord,  my 
strength,  and  my  redeemer. 

Jfialm  23. 

The  Lord  is  my  shepherd;  I  shall  not  want. 

He  maketh  me  to  lie  down  in  green  pastures :  he 
leadeth  me  beside  the  still  waters. 

He  restoreth  my  soul :  he  leadeth  me  in  the  paths 
of  righteousness   for  his  name's  sake. 

Yea,  though  I  walk  through  the  valley  of  the 
shadow  of  death,  I  will  fear  no  evil :  for  thou  art 
with  me;  thy  rod  and  thy  staff  they  comfort  me. 

Thou  preparest  a  table  before  me  in  the  presence 
of  mine  enemies :  thou  anointest  my  head  with  oil ; 
my  cup  runneth  over. 


#mjitur*  fctnaana.  13 

Surely  goodness  and  mercy  shall  follow  me  all 
the  days  of  my  life :  and  I  will  dwell  in  the  house  of 
the  Lord  for  ever. 

JJaalm  4fi. 

God  is  our  refuge  and  strength,  a  very  present 
help  in  trouble. 

Therefore  will  not  we  fear,  though  the  earth 
be  removed,  and  though  the  mountains  be  carried 
into  the  midst  of  the  sea; 

Though  the  waters  thereof  roar  and  be  troubled, 
though  the  mountains  shake  with  the  swelling  there- 
of.    Selah. 

There  is  a  river,  the  streams  whereof  shall  make 
glad  the  city  of  God,  the  holy  place  of  the  tabernacles 
of  the  most  High. 

God  is  in  the  midst  of  her;  she  shall  not  be 
moved:  God  shall  help  her,  and  that  right  early. 

The  heathen  raged,  the  kingdoms  were  moved:  he 
uttered  his  voice,  the  earth  melted. 

The  Lord  of  hosts  is  with  us;  the  God  of  Jacob 
is  our  refuge.     Selah. 

Come,  behold  the  works  of  the  Lord,  what  desola- 
tions he  hath  made  in  the  earth. 

He  maketh  wars  to  cease  unto  the  end  of  the 
earth ;  he  breaketh  the  bow,  and  cutteth  the  spear 
in  sunder;  he  burneth  the  chariot  in  the  fire. 

Be  still,  and  know  that  I  am  God:  I  will  be 
exalted  among  the  heathen,  I  will  be  exalted  in  the 
earth. 

The  Lord  of  hosts  is  with  us ;  the  God  of  Jacob 
is  our  refuge.     Selah.

Psalm  7Z. 

Give  unto  the  King  thy  judgments,  O  God:  and 
thy  righteousness  unto  the  King's   Son. 

He  shall  judge  thy  people  with  righteousness : 
and  thy  poor  with  judgment. 

The  mountains  shall  bring  peace  to  the  people; 
and  the  little  hills,  by  righteousness. 

He  shall  judge  the  poor  of  the  people:  he  shall 
save  the  children  of  the  needy,  and  shall  break  in 
pieces  the  oppressor. 

They  shall  fear  thee  as  long  as  the  sun  and 
moon  endure:  throughout  all  generations. 

He  shall  come  down  like  rain  upon  the  mown 
grass :  as  showers  that  water  the  earth. 

In  his  days  shall  the  righteous  flourish :  and  abun- 
dance of  peace  so  long  as  the  moon  endureth. 

He  shall  have  dominion  also  from  sea  to  sea: 
and  from  the  river  unto  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

The  kings  of  Tarshish  and  of  the  isles  shall  bring 
presents :  the  kings  of  Sheba  and  Seba  shall  offer 
gifts. 

Yea,  all  kings  shall  fall  down  before  him;  all 
nations  shall  serve  him. 

For  he  shall  deliver  the  needy  when  he  crieth : 
the  poor  also,  and  him  that  hath  no  helper. 

He  shall  spare  the  poor  and  needy:  and  shall 
save  the  souls  of  the  needy. 

He  shall  redeem  their  soul  from  deceit  and  vio- 
lence :  and  precious  shall  their  blood  be  in  his  sight. 

And  he  shall  live,  and  to  him  shall  be  given  of 
the  gold  of  Sheba:  prayer  also  shall  be  made  for 
him  continually :  and  daily  shall  he  be  praised.

faalm  31. 

He  that  dwelleth  in  the  secret  place  of  the  most 
High  shall  abide  under  the  shadow  of  the  Almighty. 

I  will  say  of  the  Lord,  he  is  my  refuge  and  my 
fortress :  my  God ;  in  him  will  I  trust. 

Surely  he  shall  deliver  thee  from  the  snare  of 
the  fowler,  and  from  the  noisome  pestilence. 

He  shall  cover  thee  with  his  feathers,  and  under 
his  wings  shalt  thou  trust :  his  truth  shall  be  thy 
shield  and  buckler. 

Thou  shalt  not  be  afraid  for  the  terror  by  night ; 
nor  for  the  arrow  that  flieth  by  day; 

Nor  for  the  pestilence  that  walketh  in  darkness ; 
nor  for  the  destruction  that  wasteth  at  noonday. 

A  thousand  shall  fall  at  thy  side,  and  ten  thou- 
sand at  thy  right  hand;  but  it  shall  not  come  nigh 
thee. 

Only  with  thine  eyes  shalt  thou  behold  and  see 
the  reward  of  the  wicked. 

Because  thou  hast  made  the  Lord,  which  is  my 
refuge,  even  the  most  High,  thy  habitation ; 

There  shall  no  evil  befall  thee,  neither  shall  any 
plague  come  nigh  thy  dwelling. 

For  he  shall  give  his  angels  charge  over  thee,  to 
keep  thee  in  all  thy  ways. 

They  shall  bear  thee  up  in  their  hands,  lest  thou 
dash  thy  foot  against  a  stone. 

Thou  shalt  tread  upon  the  lion  and  adder;  the 
young  lion  and  the  dragon  shalt  thou  trample  under 
feet. 

Because  he  hath  set  his  love  upon  me,  therefore 
will  I  deliver  him :  I  will  set  him  on  high,  because 
he  hath  known  my  name. 


16  &ttipttxtt  UtaamtB. 

He  shall  call  upon  me,  and  I  will  answer  him: 
I  will  be  with  him  in  trouble;  I  will  deliver  him,  and 
honour  him. 

With  long  life  will  I  satisfy  him,  and  shew  him 
my  salvation. 

$aaltn  104. 

Bless  the  Lord,  O  my  soul.  O  Lord  my  God, 
thou  art  very  great;  thou  art  clothed  with  honour 
and  majesty. 

Who  coverest  thyself  with  light  as  with  a  gar- 
ment :  who  stretchest  out  the  heavens  like  a  curtain : 

Who  layeth  the  beams  of  his  chambers  in  the 
waters :  who  maketh  the  clouds  his  chariot :  who 
walketh  upon  the  wings  of  the  wind: 

Who  maketh  his  angels  spirits;  his  ministers  a 
flaming  fire: 

Who  laid  the  foundations  of  the  earth,  that  it 
should  not  be  removed  for  ever. 

Thou  coveredst  it  with  the  deep  as  with  a  gar- 
ment:  the  waters   stood   above  the  mountains. 

At  thy  rebuke  they  fled;  at  the  voice  of  thy 
thunder  they  hasted  away. 

0  Lord,  how  manifold  are  thy  works !  in  wis- 
dom hast  thou  made  them  all :  the  earth  is  full  of 
thy  riches. 

Thou  sendest  forth  thy  spirit,  they  are  created: 
and  thou  renewest  the  face  of  the  earth. 

The  glory  of  the  Lord  shall  endure  for  ever : 
the  Lord  shall  rejoice  in  his  works. 

He  looketh  on  the  earth,  and  it  trembleth :  he 
toucheth  the  hills,  and  they  smoke. 

1  will  sing  unto  the  Lord  as  long  as  I  live :  I 
will  sing  praise  to  my  God  while  I  have  my  being. 


&ttiptutt  Uraaona.  17 

My  meditation  of  him  shall  be  sweet:  I  will  be 
glad  in  the  Lord. 

Let  the  sinners  be  consumed  out  of  the  earth, 
and  let  the  wicked  be  no  more.  Bless  thou  the  Lord, 
O  my  soul.     Praise  ye  the  Lord. 

%ukt  I,  BB-72. 

Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of  Israel;  for  he  hath 
visited  and  redeemed  his  people. 

And  hath  raised  up  an  horn  of  salvation  for  us 
in  the  house  of  his  servant  David; 

As  he  spake  by  the  mouth  of  his  holy  prophets, 
which  have  been  since  the  world  began : 

That  we  should  be  saved  from  our  enemies,  and 
from  the  hand  of  all  that  hate  us; 

To  perform  the  mercy  promised  to  our  fathers, 
and  to  remember  his  holy  covenant. 

The  oath  which  he  sware  to  our  father  Abraham. 

That  he  would  grant  unto  us,  that  we,  being  de- 
livered out  of  the  hand  of  our  enemies,  might  serve 
him  without  fear. 

In  holiness  and  righteousness  before  him,  all 
the  days  of  our  life. 

And  thou,  child,  shalt  be  called  the  prophet  of  the 
Highest,  for  thou  shalt  go  before  the  face  of  the 
Lord  to  prepare  his  ways. 

To  give  knowledge  of  salvation  unto  his  people, 
by  the  remission  of  their  sins. 

Through  the  tender  mercy  of  our  God;  whereby 
the  Day-spring  from  on  high  hath  visited  us. 

To  give  light  to  them  that  sit  in  darkness  and 
in  the  shadow  of  death. 

To  guide  our  feet  into  the  way  of  peace.

I  (tot.  13, 

Though  I  speak  with  the  tongues  of  men  and  of 
angels,  and  have  not  charity,  I  am  become  as  sound- 
ing brass,  or  a  tinkling  cymbal. 

And  though  I  have  the  gift  of  prophecy,  and 
understand  all  mysteries,  and  all  knowledge;  and 
though  I  have  all  faith,  so  that  I  could  remove  moun- 
tains, and  have  not  charity,  I  am  nothing. 

And  though  I  bestow  all  my  goods  to  feed  the 
poor,  and  though  I  give  my  body  to  be  burned,  and 
have  not  charity,  it  profiteth  me  nothing. 

Charity  surTereth  long,  and  is  kind;  charity  en- 
vieth  not;  charity  vaunteth  not  itself,  is  not  purled 
up, 

Doth  not  behave  itself  unseemly,  seeketh  not  her 
own,  is  not  easily  provoked,  thinketh  no  evil ; 

Rejoiceth  not  in  iniquity,  but  rejoiceth  in  the 
truth ; 

Beareth  all  things,  believeth  all  things,  hopeth 
all  things,  endureth  all  things. 

Charity  never  f  aileth :  but  whether  there  be 
prophecies,  they  shall  fail;  whether  there  be  tongues, 
they  shall  cease ;  whether  there  be  knowledge,  it 
shall  vanish  away. 

For  we  know  in  part,  and  we  prophesy  in  part. 

But  when  that  which  is  perfect  is  come,  then  that 
which  is  in  part  shall  be  done  away. 

But  when  I  was  a  child,  I  spake  as  a  child,  I 
understood  as  a  child,  I  thought  as  a  child:  but  when 
I  became  a  man,  I  put  away  childish  things. 

For  now  we  see  through  a  glass,  darkly;  but 
then  face  to  face:  now  I  know  in  part; but  then  shall 
I  know  even  as  also  I  am  known. 


Srriptwrp  Eraaana.  19 

And  now  abideth  faith,  hope,  charity,  these 
three ;  but  the  greatest  of  these  is  charity. 

pjii.  4,  4-0. 

Rejoice  in  the  Lord  alway :  and  again  I  say,  Re- 
joice. 

Let  your  moderation  be  known  unto  all  men. 
The  Lord  is  at  hand. 

Be  careful  for  nothing;  but  in  every  thing  by 
prayer  and  supplication  with  thanksgiving  let  your  re- 
quests be  made  known  unto  God. 

And  the  peace  of  God,  which  passeth  all  under- 
standing, shall  keep  your  hearts  and  minds  through 
Christ  Jesus. 

Finally,  brethren,  whatsoever  things  are  true, 
whatsoever  things  are  honest,  whatsoever  things  are 
just,  whatsoever  things  are  pure,  whatsoever  things 
are  lovely,  whatsoever  things  are  of  good  report;  if 
there  be  any  virtue,  and  if  there  be  any  praise,  think  on 
these  things. 

Those  things,  which  ye  have  both  learned,  and  re- 
ceived, and  heard,  and  seen  in  me,  do :  and  the  God  of 
peace  shall  be  with  you. 

I  ftttx,  1,  3-0. 

Blessed  be  the  God,  and  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  which  according  to  his  abundant  mercy  hath 
begotten  us  again  unto  a  lively  hope  by  the  resurrec- 
tion of  Jesus  Christ  from  the  dead. 

To  an  inheritance  incorruptible,  and  undefiled, 
and  that  fadeth  not  away,  reserved  in  heaven  for  you. 

Who  are  kept  by  the  power  of  God  through  faith 
unto  salvation,  ready  to  be  revealed  in  the  last  time.

Wherein  ye  greatly  rejoice,  though  now  for  a  sea- 
son, if  need  be,  ye  are  in  heaviness  through  manifold 
temptations : 

That  the  trial  of  your  faith,  being  much  more 
precious  than  of  gold  that  perisheth,  though  it  be  tried 
with  fire,  might  be  found  unto  praise  and  honour  and 
glory  at  the  appearing  of  Jesus  Christ : 

Whom  having  not  seen,  ye  love ;  in  whom,  though 
now  ye  see  him  not,  yet  believing,  ye  rejoice  with  joy 
unspeakable  and  full  of  glory : 

Receiving  the  end  of  your  faith,  even  the  salva- 
tion of  your  souls,

Our  Lord  and  our  God,  we  thank  Thee  for  Thine 
unspeakable  goodness,  bidding  us  to  call  upon  Thy 
name  in  every  time  of  need,  and  that  Thou  doest 
vouchsafe  to  us,  at  all  times,  what  is  necessary  for 
body  and  soul.  O  God,  we  beseech  Thee,  pour  out 
upon  us  the  spirit  of  supplication,  that  we  may  always 
delight  in  Thy  worship,  and  daily,  with  all  confidence 
draw  nigh  unto  Thee,  bow  our  knees  before  Thy 
throne,  and  call  upon  Thee  for  the  supply  of  all  our 
wants.  Truly,  Thou  art  the  Father,  of  whom  the 
whole  family  in  heaven  and  on  earth  is  named.  Grant 
that,  as  Thine  own  dear  children,  we  may  continually 
lift  up  holy  hands  to  Thee,  nothing  doubting,  but 
firmly  believing  that  Thou  wilt  hear  the  sighs  and 
groans  of  our  souls.  When  Thy  help  is  delayed,  en- 
able us  to  exercise  patience,  and  to  await  an  answer  to 
our  prayers  in  Thine  own  good  time,  for  Thou  hast 
pleasure  in  them  who  fear  Thee  and  hope  in  Thy 
goodness.  O  Father,  help  us,  by  Thy  Holy  Spirit,  to 
remember  the  hour  of  death,  and  gave  us  grace  always 
to  hold  ourselves  in  readiness  for  its  coming  and  to 
pray  unceasingly  for  a  happy  end  through  Jesus  Christ, 
our  Savior.    Amen. 


Almighty  and  everlasting  God,  Thou  art  the  only 
true  God  and  Father ;  and  art  worthy  to  be  held  in 
reverence  and  adoration  by  every  creature.     That  we

may  know  this  and  be  able  to  worship  Thee  aright, 
ihou  hast  revealed  Thyself  in  Thy  blessed  Word, 
given  for  the  salvation  of  souls.  Heavenly  Father,  we 
heartily  thank  Thee  for  the  precious  gift  of  Thy  sav- 
ing truth,  and  for  all  the  benefits  which  Thou  hast  be- 
stowed upon  us.  We  thank  Thee  for  the  privilege  of 
meeting  together  for  the  study  of  the  Wrord  and  for 
Thy  worship  and  praise.  Forgive  us  our  many  sins 
and  transgressions,  and  rightly  prepare  us  to  engage 
in  this  service.  Bless  the  instruction  that  shall  now  be 
given  in  Thy  name,  and  help  us  all  to  know  and  do 
Thy  holy  will.  Bless  Thy  people  everywhere  and  let 
all  nations  learn  to  rejoice  in  Thee  and  in  Thy  bound- 
less mercy  and  grace,  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 
Amen.  

Blessed  God  and  Father,  Thou  art  the  Giver  of 
every  good  and  perfect  gilt,  and  with  Thee  there  is 
neither  variableness  nor  shadow  of  turning.  We  have 
often  forgotten  Thee,  and  are  not  worthy  of  the  least 
of  Thy  benefits,  but  Thou  art  never  unmindful  of  us, 
and  our  needs;  and  with  a  liberal  hand  Thy  rich 
blessings  are  bestowed  upon  us  day  by  day.  Awaken 
in  us  a  deeper  sense  of  gratitude,  and  enable  us  to  re- 
ceive Thy  gifts  with  thankful  hearts,  for  we  are  poor 
dependent  creatures.  Pardon  our  manifold  sins,  and 
give  us  greater  love  for  Thee,  for  Thy  Word,  and  for 
everything  that  is  good  and  acceptable  in  Thy  sight. 
Bless  us  and  all  others  for  whom  we  should  pray. 
Keep  us  in  the  true  faith,  and  let  us  be  Thine  forever. 
Lord,  grant  us  our  prayers  for  Jesus'  sake.     Amen. 


Merciful  Savior,  we  thank  and  praise  Thee  that 
Thou  didst  come  into  the  world  for  the  redemption  of 


$Jrag*ra.  23 

a  lost  and  ruined  race.  We  thank  Thee  for  Thy 
boundless  love  and  compassion  and  for  Thine  innocent 
and  vicarious  sufferings  and  death.  Stricken,  smitten 
of  God  and  afflicted.  Thou  hast  borne  our  griefs  and 
carried  our  sorrow.  The  punishment  which  justly 
rested  upon  us  Thou  hast  endured  in  our  stead  and 
the  benefit  of  this  atoning  sacrifice  is  forever  made 
sure  by  Thy  glorious  resurrection  and  ascension. 

Blessed  Savior,  we  thank  Thee  for  the  establish- 
ment of  Thy  kingdom  on  earth,  and  also  in  our  midst, 
and  that  the  fruits  of  redemption  are  constantly 
granted  unto  the  children  of  men.  Mercifully  keep  us 
from  the  ways  of  sin,  and  so  rule  our  hearts  and  minds 
that  we  may  never  be  ashamed  of  Thee,  of  Thy  Word, 
and  the  sacred  ordinances  of  Thy  house.  Grant  that 
our  lives  may  be  lives  of  faith,  righteousness  and 
peace,  and  to  the  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost  shall 
be  all  the  praise.    Amen. 


Heavenly  Father,  we  thank  Thee  that  Thou  hast 
taught  us  to  know  Thee  as  our  true  Father,  and  that 
Thou  art  ever  ready  to  receive  us  as  Thine  own  dear 
children.  We  are  Thine,  for  Thou  art  our  Creator 
and  Preserver,  and  the  Giver  of  every  good  that  we 
possess.  We  are  Thine  by  redemption,  for  Thou  hast 
purchased  us  with  the  precious  blood  of  Thine  only 
begotten  Son:  and  Thine  we  are  by  the  sanctifying 
power  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  so  abundantly  shed  upon  us 
through  Jesus  Christ,  our  Savior. 

Heavenly  Father,  without  any  merit  or  worthiness 
of  our  own,  in  Christ  Jesus  Thou  dost  accept  us  as 
Thy  dear  children,  and  as  heirs  of  Thy  kingdom.  O 
may  this  grace  not  be  in  vain.  We  beseech  Thee  to 
keep  us  in  the   faith  unto  everlasting  life!  and  that 


24  PragtrB. 

which  we  ask  for  ourselves  we  also  ask  for  Thy  people 
everywhere.  Bless  and  prosper  the  work  of  Thy 
whole  Church  on  earth,  and  extend  and  build  up  the 
walls  of  Zion  in  every  land.  Break  down  the  barriers 
of  sin  and  satan,  and  cause  Thy  Gospel  to  be  pro- 
claimed throughout  the  world.  Let  all  nations  hear 
the  wonderful  story  of  the  Cross  and  be  led  to  worship 
Thee  in  Jesus'  name.    Amen. 


Lord  Jesus  Christ,  our  Redeemer  and  Shepherd, 
we  thank  Thee  for  Thine  infinite  love  and  mercy,  and 
for  Thy  tender  care.  We  thank  Thee  for  the  health 
and  strength  wherewith  Thou  hast  so  kindly  favored 
us,  and  for  the  desire  which  prompts  us  to  come  into 
Thy  house,  that  we  may  hear  Thy  Word,  and  offer 
unto  Thee  our  songs  of  thanksgiving  and  praise. 
Lord,  help  us  to  realize  that  every  blessing  we  enjoy 
is  bestowed  upon  us  purely  out  of  Thy  divine  good- 
ness and  mercy,  and  grant  that  we  may  receive  these 
manifold  gifts  in  Thy  fear  and  love. 

Heavenly  Father,  for  the  sake  of  Thy  crucified 
Son,  blot  out  our  transgressions  and  keep  us  under 
Thy  protection  and  care.  Bless  us  according  to  our 
needs,  and  in  every  good  cause  prosper  the  work  of 
our  hands.  Mercifully  consider  the  needs  of  all  man- 
kind, and  be  Thou  the  God  and  Father  of  all  who  are 
afflicted  and  distressed  in  body,  mind,  or  estate.  Let 
Thy  name  be  known  and  hallowed  throughout  the 
world,  and  all  praise  be  given  unto  Thee,  who  to- 
gether with  the  Son,  and  the  Holy  Ghost,  livest  and 
reigneth  forever  and  ever.     Amen. 


Our  Lord  and  Savior,  Jesus  Christ,  who  hast  all 
power  in  Heaven  and  on  earth,  and  who  art  our  Inter- 


#rag*rfl.  25 

cessor  with  the  Father,  we  owe  it  to  Thy  goodness  and 
intercession  that  we  are  yet  alive,  and  that  we  enjoy 
so  many  blessings.  We  thank  and  praise  Thy  holy 
name  for  all  the  benefits  which  Thou  hast  extended  to 
us,  who  are  so  unworthy  of  them.  By  our  creation 
and  redemption,  as  well  as  by  our  baptism  we  are 
placed  under  obligation  to  live  to  Thy  honor  and  to 
serve  Thee.  We,  therefore,  pray  Thee,  fit  us  for  the 
performance  of  duty,  and  give  unto  us  all  things  that 
pertain  unto  life  and  godliness,  through  a  gracious 
knowledge  of  Thyself.  Plant  and  increase  within  us 
the  fruits  of  Thy  Spirit,  which  are  love,  joy,  peace, 
long-suffering,  gentleness,  goodness,  faith,  meekness, 
temperance.  Give  unto  us  the  water  of  life,  to  refresh 
our  souls,  that  water  which  is  the  outpouring  of  Thy 
Holy  Spirit,  who  only  is  able  to  teach  and  strengthen 
us,  and  prepare  us  for  every  good  work.  Stretch  out 
Thy  hand  over  us  and  protect  us  against  all  spiritual 
and  bodily  enemies.  Bless  the  whole  Christian 
Church,  yea,  the  whole  world,  and  let  Thy  name  be 
glorified  this  day  through  the  aid  which  Thou  afford- 
est  them  who  are  in  need.    Amen. 


MlBBiatmtg, 

Gracious  God  and  Father,  unceasing  praise  and 
adoration  be  unto  Thee  for  all  Thy  gifts  and  blessings. 
But  especially  would  we  thank  and  praise  Thee  for 
that  infinite  love  and  compassion  which  prompted  the 
sending  of  Thine  only  begotten  Son  for  the  salvation 
of  a  lost  and  dying  world. 

Blessed  Son  of  God,  our  only  Redeemer  and 
Hope,  eternal  thanksgiving  and  praise  be  unto  Thee 


26  Pragma. 

for  Thy  merciful  coming,  and  for  giving  Thyself  as  a 
willing  sacrifice  for  the  atonement  oi  our  sins. 

Holy  Spirit,  who  proceedest  from  the  Father  and 
the  Son,  equal  worship  and  praise  belongeth  unto  Thee. 
For  it  is  through  Thee  that  we  have  the  sure  testimony 
of  the  written  Word  and  by  Thy  quickening  power 
we  learn  to  know  and  believe  in  the  only  true  Lord  of 
heaven  and  earth,  and  are  kept  in  the  Christian  faith. 
We  beseech  Thee  to  abide  with  us  and  grant  us  Thy 
gracious  direction. 

But  the  consolation  of  the  gospel  is  not  only  for 
those  who  are  already  under  the  influences  of  the 
Church.  All  men  have  been  redeemed  by  Thy 
precious  blood,  and  O  Christ,  Thou  hast  given  the 
sacred  injunction:  "Preach  the  Gospel  to  every  crea- 
ture." Awaken  the  entire  Church  to  a  more  earnest 
compliance  with  Thy  holy  will  and  command.  The 
need  is  very  great.  Millions  at  home  and  abroad  are 
strangers  to  the  covenant  of  promise,  and  are  without 
God  and  without  hope  in  the  world.  The  fields  are 
ripe  unto  harvest,  but  the  laborers  are  few.  Lord, 
send  forth  laborers  into  Thy  harvest  and  give  them 
the  strength  and  courage  to  do  Thy  work  as  it  is  com- 
mitted to  their  hands.  Richly  bless  Thy  servants 
everywhere,  and  give  peace  and  prosperity  to  the 
Church  without  and  within,  and  let  the  light  of  salva- 
tion be  the  joy  of  all  people.    Amen. 


Eternal  God,  to  whom  belongeth  all  power,  and 
glory,  and  dominion,  we  would  praise  and  extol  Thy 
holy  name.  We  humbly  confess  that  of  ourselves  we 
are  not  worthy  to  stand  in  Thy  presence,  for  we  are 
weak  and  sinful  creatures,  and  have  deserved  nothing 
but  punishment.     But  Thou  art  a  merciful  God,  and 


fragerH.  27 

hast  given  Thy  Son  to  be  our  righteousness,  and 
through  Him  Thou  dost  own  and  adopt  us  as  Thy 
children,  and  dost  grant  us  free  access  to  the  throne 
of  grace.  Nor  dost  Thou  ever  grow  weary  of  hearing 
the  prayers  of  Thy  people. 

But  vast  numbers  there  are  who,  though  living  in 
a  Christian  land,  have  not  learned  to  know  and  con- 
fess Thee  as  their  true  Father  in  Christ  Jesus.  Lord, 
have  mercy  on  these  misguided  souls,  and  lead  them  to 
better  things.  Give  Thy  ministers  wisdom  and  power 
from  on  high,  and  grant  them  great  success  in  win- 
ning souls  through  the  preaching  of  the  Word.  Let 
the  blessed  influence  of  the  Church  be  felt  in  every 
cornmunity,  and  lead  people  to  be  glad  when  they  have 
an  opportunity  to  attend  the  services  of  God's  house. 
Lord,  be  with  our  pastors  and  congregations,  and 
sanctify  them  unto  Thyself.  Fill  Thy  Church  with  a 
holy  zeal,  give  its  members  oneness  of  heart  and  mind. 
Lead  Thy  people  everywhere  to  a  deeper  conscious- 
ness of  the  great  work  that  is  to  be  done,  and  make 
them  ready  and  willing  to  spend  and  be  spent  in  the 
upbuilding  of  Thy  kingdom. 

Heavenly  Father,  protect  and  comfort  Thy  serv- 
ants who  are  laboring  in  heathen  lands,  and  crown 
their  efforts  with  abundant  success.  Enlighten  and 
subdue  the  world  by  the  power  of  the  Gospel,  and 
bring  peace  and  happiness  to  the  nations  of  the  earth. 
We  ask  it  for  Jesus'  sake.    Amen. 


Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  through 
Him  also  our  Father,  we  thank  Thee  for  the  innum- 
erable blessings  bestowed  upon  us  by  Thy  tender  and 
loving  hand.  But  especially  do  we  thank  and  praise 
Thee  for  the  establishment  of  Thy  Church  on  earth, 


28  £  rag*ra. 

and  for  having  brought  us  under  the  blessed  influences 
of  the  Gospel. 

Lord,  lead  us  to  a  higher  and  better  appreciation 
of  the  rich  treasures  that  are  so  freely  offered  in  Thy 
kingdom,  and  make  us  more  deeply  conscious  of  the 
deplorable  condition  of  all  who  are  strangers  to  Thee 
and  to  Thy  covenant  of  grace.  Let  Thy  blessed  Word 
be  preached  in  its  purity  and  power  in  every  congre- 
gation, and  awaken  the  ungodly,  cold  and  indifferent 
to  the  needs  of  their  famishing  souls.  Move  all  Chris- 
tians to  a  deeper  sense  of  the  duties  which  they  owe 
those  who  are  known  to  be  outside  the  Church,  and 
give  them  grace  and  zeal  in  the  Lord's  work. 

Heavenly  Father,  we  pray  Thee  for  all  sorts  and 
conditions  of  men.  In  the  abundance  of  Thy  mercy, 
have  compassion  on  the  aeglected,  misled,  straying  and 
fallen,  the  weak,  and  those  who  are  tempted  by  special 
sins.  Enlighten,  guide  and  sustain  them  by  Thy  Holy 
Spirit,  and  cause  them  to  love  the  ways  of  truth  and 
purity.  In  mercy  remember  the  sick  and  the  needy, 
comfort  the  forsaken  and  distressed,  and  help  them  to 
realize  that  all  things  work  together  for  good  to  them 
that  love  God.  Lord,  hear  our  humble  petitions,  for 
Jesus'  sake.    Amen. 


Almighty  and  eternal  God,  Thou  knowest  the  se- 
crets of  every  heart,  and  from  Thee  nothing  can  be 
hid.  Lord,  we  humbly  confess  that  of  ourselves  we 
are  not  worthy  to  stand  in  Thy  presence  or  to  ask 
anything  of  Thee.  But  we  do  not  approach  Thee  in 
our  own  name,  but  in  the  name  of  Jesus,  Thy  blessed 
Son,  and  in  whom  Thou  hast  adopted  us  as  Thy  chil- 
dren. 


iJrayrra.  29 

For  Jesus'  sake  forgive  us  all  our  sins,  and 
strengthen  and  keep  us  in  Thy  grace.  Increase  our 
love  for  Thee  and  for  the  treasures  of  the  gospel,  and 
make  us  more  devoted  to  the  cause  of  Christ.  Help 
us  to  realize  the  needs  of  all  who  are  in  spiritual  dark- 
ness, and  enable  Thy  servants  to  live  and  labor  to  the 
honor  and  glory  of  Thy  name. 

Lord,  have  mercy  upon  those  who  once  professed 
to  be  Thy  followers,  but  have  forgotten  Thee  and  Thy 
saving  truth,  and  are  now  walking  in  the  ways  of  the 
world  and  the  flesh.  Convince  them  of  their  sinful- 
ness, and  lead  them  to  sincere  repentance.  In  much 
mercy  remember  Thy  weak  and  fallen  creatures,  those 
who  have  been  ensnared  and  corrupted  by  the  decep- 
tions of  sin.  Rescue  them  from  the  powers  of  vice 
and  destruction,  and  lead  them  to  rejoice  in  the  ways 
of  purity  and  righteousness. 

Heavenly  Father,  guide  and  bless  the  efforts  of 
all  who  are  laboring  for  the  salvation  of  souls. 
Strengthen  the  weak,  convert  the  unbelieving,  and 
bring  to  naught  the  counsels  of  the  ungodly.  Subdue 
the  wickedness  of  the  earth  and  let  Thy  good  and 
gracious  will  be  done  among  all  people.  We  ask  it  for 
Jesus'  sake.    Amen. 


O  God  of  Truth  and  Love,  Thou  hast  no  pleasure 
in  the  death  of  the  wicked,  but  that  the  wicked  turn 
from  his  way  and  live.  Through  the  sufferings  and 
death  of  Thine  own  Son,  Thou  hast  redeemed  the 
world  from  the  power  of  sin,  death  and  the  devil,  and 
Thou  wouldst  have  all  men  come  to  a  knowledge  of 
the  truth,  repent  and  be  saved.  Spread  abroad  Thy 
Holy  Word,  and  bless  the  preaching  of  the  Gospel  to 
the  hearts  of  those  who  know  Thee  not.     Send  forth

laborers  into  Thy  harvest,  and  bless  all  missionary 
efforts  for  the  glory  of  Thy  name.  Grant  unto  all 
missionaries  a  large  measure  of  Thy  Spirit,  that  they, 
holding  Thy  truth,  may  be  well  equipped  to  bear  Thy 
name  to  the  ends  of  the  earth.  Preserve  them  from  all 
dangers ;  defend  them  against  all  their  foes ;  and  guide 
them  over  sea  and  land,  that  the  deep  may  not  swallow 
them  up,  nor  the  desert  destroy  them.  Watch  over  all 
missionary  institutions,  and  let  the  faith  once  delivered 
to  the  saints,  prevail  in  them  all.  Bless  whatsoever  is 
done  for  the  extension  of  Thy  kingdom  among  Jews, 
Mahammedans  and  Gentiles.  Even  within  the  bounds 
of  Thy  Church  there  are  practical  heathen.  O,  con- 
vert them !  and  give  them  no  peace,  until  they  have  re- 
turned to  Thee.  Shine  as  the  Sun  of  Righteousness 
upon  us  all  and  let  us  walk  in  Thy  light.  Vouchsafe 
to  us  the  gracious  influence  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  that 
our  whole  spirit,  body  and  soul,  may  be  preserved 
blameless  unto  the  coming  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 
Come,  Lord  Jesus  !    Amen. 


Cburcb  Societies 


Blessed  Savior,  when  clothed  in  mortal  flesh..  Thy 
life  was  a  life  of  service  and  sacrifice.  By  precept 
and  by  example  Thou  hast  taught  us  to  be  earnest, 
active  and  faithful  servants  of  the  Lord.  The  purpose 
of  this  association  is  to  glorify  Thy  name  among  us 
and  to  promote  the  interests  of  Thy  holy  kingdom. 
We  beseech  Thee  to  be  with  us,  and  to  grant  us  Thy 
guidance  and  blessing. 

Mercifully  warn  and  protect  us  against  every  in- 
fluence that  would  injure  or  prevent  the  usefulness  of 
this  society.  Remove  from  us  all  vain  and  sinful  am- 
bitions, jealousies  and  dissensions,  and  cause  peace 
and  harmony  to  abide  with  us  continually  as  becometh 
the  children  of  God.  Let  the  Holy  Spirit  reign  in  our 
hearts  and  minds,  and  make  us  ready  and  willing  to 
perform  any  duty  that  comes  within  our  sphere. 

Bless  the  congregation  to  which  we  belong;  give 
success  to  the  work  that  is  being  done  in  Thy  name, 
and  grant  that  this  parish  may  ever  be  a  faithful  wit-

voke Thy  heavenly  benediction  upon  the  entire  Church, 
Be  Thou  the  Protector  and  Defense  of  Thy  people

known  and  welcomed  throughout  the  world.  These 
petitions  we  offer  in  our  great  Redeemer's  name.

Eternal  God  and  Father,  unto  Thee  belongeth  all 
honor  and  praise  on  earth  and  in  heaven.  Thou  art 
the  Creator  and  possessor  of  all  things,  the  Giver  of 
every  good  and  perfect  gift,  and  unto  Thee  shall  pray- 
ers and  supplications  be  made. 

In  our  weakness  and  lack  of  understanding,  we 
often  fail  to  realize  our  greatest  needs  and  that  for 
which  we  should  ask.  But  Thou  art  ever  ready  to 
hear  Thy  children  when  they  pray,  and  the  yearnings 
of  a  believing  heart  are  no  less  acceptable  unto  Thee 
than  utterance  in  words. 

Lord,  help  us  to  know  the  real  wants  of  body  and 
soul,  give  us  a  steadfast  faith  in  Thee,  and  move  our 
hearts  and  tongues  with  true  gratitude  and  praise. 

Blessed  God  and  Father,  we  never  can  sufficiently 
thank  and  adore  Thee  for  Thy  boundless  love  and 
mercy.  Though  deserving  none  of  Thy  benefits,  Thou 
hast  sent  us  Thy  most  precious  gift,  the  gift  of  Thine 
only  begotten  Son,  our  Lord  and  Redeemer.  We 
thank  Thee  that  Thou  hast  permitted  us  to  know  this, 
and  enabled  us  to  rejoice  in  the  salvation  which  Thou 
hast  prepared  for  us,  and  for  all  people.  O  may  we 
never  be  unmindful  of  Thy  countless  benefits,  nor 
blush  to  own  our  Savior's  name. 

Mercifully  protect  us  against  the  temptations  of 
the  devil,  the  world,  and  our  own  flesh ;  and  comfirm 
us  in  that  which  is  good  and  acceptable  in  Thy  sight. 
Be  with  us  on  this  occasion,  and  grant  that  the 
present  hour  may  be  for  us  an  hour  of  refreshing 
and  edification.  Guide  and  keep  us  through  life,  and 
when  our  earthly  course  is  finished,  take  us  to  Thyself 
in  heaven,  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.    Amen. 


Blessed  and  Eternal  God,  by  Thy  fatherly  good- 
ness and  mercy,  we  are  again  permitted  to  assemble 
in  Thy  presence,  and  to  rejoice  together  before  Thee 
as  Thy  children.  We  heartily  thank  Thee  for  this 
privilege,  and  for  all  the  blessings  we  have  received 
in  things  temporal  and  spiritual,  and  pray  Thee  to 
graciously  remember  us  in  the  future  as  Thou  hast  so 
faithfully  done  in  the  past. 

Lord,  we  ask  Thy  blessing  and  guidance  in  this 
meeting.  Sanctify  our  efforts  as  a  little  band  of  young 
Christians,  and  help  us  to  do  Thy  will.  Protect  us 
against  everything  that  is  harmful  and  unseemly,  and 
grant  that  our  meetings  may  always  be  helpful  to  us 
socially  and  spiritually. 

Blessed  Savior,  let  us  never  forget  that  we  have 
been  purchased  with  Thy  holy  blood,  and  that  our 
lives  should  constantly  show  forth  Thy  honor  and 
praise.  Be  Thou  our  Teacher  and  Guide,  and  keep  us 
in  Thy  loving  care.  Give  us  a  deeper  knowledge  of 
Thyself,  and  lead  us  to  love  Thee  more  and  to  serve 
Thee  better,  for  Thou  art  the  Way,  the  Truth,  and  the 
Life,  and  no  man  cometh  unto  the  Father  but  by  Thee. 

O  God  of  our  salvation,  abide  with  us,  and  merci- 
fully grant  that  we  may  never  forsake  the  way  of 
truth  and  righteousness.  Confirm  us  in  the  faith  and 
hope  of  the  gospel  of  Jesus  Christ,  and  cause  us  to 
grow  in  holiness  of  heart  and  life.  And  when  Thou 
art  done  serving  Thyself  with  us  in  this  world,  accept 
us  as  Thine  in  a  blissful  eternity.  Grant  it,  Lord,  for 
Thy  truth's  sake.    Amen. 


O  Father  of  all  grace  and  mercy,  Thou  art  a  holy 
God  and  wilt  have  us  also  lead  a  life  holy  and  free 


34  GUjurrlj  &atitt\?B. 

from  the  lusts  and  desires  of  our  sinful  flesh.    We  de- 
plore our  weakness  and  the  shortcomings  of  our  sinful 
nature.    To  will  is  indeed  present  with  us,  but  how  to 
perform    that    which    is    good,    we    find    not.      Three 
mighty  enemies  we  find  assailing  us:  the  lust  of  the 
flesh,  the  lust  of  the  eye,  and  the  pride  of  life;  these 
endeavor  to  draw  us  from  Thy  path.     Therefore,  we 
pray  Thee,  O  our  Father,  to  create  and  to  preserve  in 
us  a  clean  heart.     Grant  that  we  may  carefully  shun 
all  places  which  lend  occasion   for  uncleanness,  and 
that,  restrained  by  Thy  tear,  we  may  not  make  mem- 
bers of  fornication  out  of  the  members  of  our  bodies, 
for  they  are  members  of   Christ   Jesus,  our  Savior 
But  rather  let  us  ever,  in  ardent  devotion  to  Thee  and 
in  a  fervent  longing  for  heaven,  be  most  intent  upon 
so  living,  that  our  bodies  may  be  temples  of  God  the 
Holy   Ghost,   never   ceasing  to   love   Jesus,   who  was 
crucified  and  given  into  death   for  us.     Fill  us  with 
love  of  heavenly  wisdom,  in  order  that  we  may  never 
find  ourselves  on  the  slippery  paths  of  sin.     O  God, 
just  and  holy,  who  triest  both  heart  and  reins,  grant 
that  we  may  so  live  with  Thee  in  this  world  that  in 
the  world  to  come  we  may  not  be  separated  from  Thee. 
Amen. 

O  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  before  whom  every  knee 
should  bow,  and  whom  every  tongue  should  gladly 
confess,  unto  Thee  we  offer  our  petitions  and  praises. 
We  beseech  Thee,  give  us  the  true  spirit  of  devotion 
create  in  us  a  more  fervent  desire  to  commune  with 
Thee  in  humble,  grateful  prayer,  and  awaken  in  every 
heart  a  greater  confidence  in  the  petitions  offered  in 


Olliurrlj  ^wtrtwal  35 

Thy  all-prevailing  name.  For  Thou  hast  commanded 
us  to  pray,  and  we  come  before  Thee  as  obedient  and 
dependent  children.  At  all  times  our  needs,  both  tem- 
poral and  spiritual,  are  indeed  very  great,  and  Thou 
alone  canst  supply  our  wants,  nor  do  Thy  people  ask 
in  vain.  Thou  art  our  Refuge  and  Strength  in  every 
time  of  trouble,  and  Thy  comforting  promises  concern- 
ing the  prayer  of  faith  cannot  fail  to  be  kept. 

Gracious  God  and  Savior,  as  daughters  of  Thine 
own  household,  we  invoke  Thy  blessing  upon  this  as- 
sociation. Guide  us  in  our  deliberation  and  help  us 
to  deyise  ways  and  means  by  which  to  aid  in  the  up- 
building of  God's  kingdom.  Give  us  wisdom  and 
strength,  and  teach  us  to  know  and  do  Thy  will. 

Lord,  we  beseech  Thee  to  bless  us  in  the  relations 
and  duties  to  which  Thou  hast  called  us.  Lead  us  in 
Thy  paths,  and  keep  us  faithful  in  all  things.  Let  the 
lives  and  deeds  of  those  noble  women  of  the  Bible  be 
an  inspiration  to  us  in  every  good  work.  May  we 
profit  by  their  examples  of  faith,  true  godliness  and 
zeal,  and  may  we  never  grow  weary  of  well  doing. 

God  of  mercy  and  grace,  bless  all  departments  of 
church  work.  Graciously  pardon  and  overrule  the  sins 
and  failings  of  Thy  servants,  and  sanctify  their  labors 
to  Thy  honor  and  praise.    Amen. 


Almighty  and  everlasting  God,  in  whose  hand  is 
the  life  and  well-being  of  every  creature,  to  Thee  be- 
longeth  all  honor  and  praise.  Through  Jesus  Christ, 
we  do  most  heartily  thank  Thee  for  Thy  innumerable 
benefits  of  body  and  soul.  O  God,  we  adore  Thee  as 
a  kind  and  indulgent  Father.  Thou  art  ever  mindful 
of  the  wants  of  Thy  dependent  children,  and  without

any  merit  or  worthiness  on  our  part,  Thou  dost  con- 
tinually bless  us  far  beyond  that  which  we  could  ask 
or  think.  Everlasting  praise  be  unto  Thee  for  Thy 
goodness  and  tender  mercy. 

Heavenly  Father,  we  especially  thank  Thee  for 
our  redemption  from  the  powers  of  sin  and  wrath,  for 
the  means  of  grace,  and  for  the  "blessed  hope  of 
eternal  life  through  faith  in  Jesus  Christ.  Lord,  help 
us  to  love  and  appreciate  Thy  word  and  the  sacred  or- 
dinances of  Thy  house,  and  keep  us  blameless  to  the 
end. 

Merciful  Savior,  we  are  now  assembled  in  Thy 
name,  and  we  beseech  Thee  to  be  in  the  midst  of  this 
humble  gathering,  and  grant  us  Thy  gracious  direction 
and  blessing.  Without  Thee  we  can  do  nothing,  but 
under  Thy  blessing  our  efforts  for  good  will  not  be 
in  vain.  Blessed  Jesus,  be  with  us  in  the  cares  and 
duties  of  this  daily  life,  and  help  us  to  remember  that 
godliness  with  contentment  is  great  gain.  Let  Thy 
blessing  be  upon  us  in  our  domestic  relations,  and 
grant  that  our  homes  may  be  habitations  of  order 
and  peace.  Enable  us  to  be  active  and  faithful  mem- 
bers of  the  Church,  and  grant  that  our  example  to 
others  may  always  be  wholesome  and  helpful.  Imbue 
us  with  a  true  missionary  spirit.  Lead  us  to  find 
pleasure  in  works  of  mercy  and  benevolence,  to  de- 
light in  visiting  the  sick,  the  destitute  and  distressed, 
and  in  comforting  them  in  the  days  of  their  affliction 
and  sorrow.  May  the  Holy  Spirit  abide  with  us  all, 
and  make  us  willing  and  effectual  laborers  in  the  vine- 
yard of  the  Lord.    Amen.

But  for  us  fights  the  Valiant  One, 

Whom  God  Himself  elected. 
Ask  you:  "Who  is  He?" 
Christ  Jesus:  here  see 

Great  Sabaoth's  Lord! 

There  is  no  other  God: 
His  is  the  field  forever. 


3  Though  devils  all  the  world  should  fill, 
All  watching  to  devour  us. 

We  tremble  not,  we  fear  no  ill, 
They  cannot  overpower  us. 

This  world's  prince  may  still 

Scowl  fierce  as  he  will. 
He  can  harm  us  none. 
For  he  is  judged — undone: 

One  little  Word  o'erthrows  him.

And  not  a  thank  have  for  it;

With  His  great  gifts  and  Spirit; 
And  take  they  our  life, 
Goods,  fame,  child  and  wife, 

When  their  worst  is  done, 

They  yet  have  nothing  won; 
The  kingdom  ours  remaineth.

Beneath  the  chast'ning  rod, 
But,  in  the  hour  of  grief  and  pain, 
Will  lean  upon  its  God; 

3  A  faith  that  shines  more  bright  and  clear, 

When  tempests  rage  without; 
That,  when  in  danger,  knows  no  fear, 
In  darkness,  feels  no  doubt; 

4  That  bears,  unmoved,  the  world's  dread  frown. 

Nor  heeds  its  scornful  smile; 
That  seas  of  trouble  cannot  drown. 
Nor  Satan's  arts  beguile; 

5  A  faith  that  keeps  the  narrow  way 

Till  life's  last  hour  is  fled, 
And  with  a  pure  and  heavenly  ray 
Lights  up  a  dying  bed. 

6  Lord,  give  us  such  a  faith  as  this, 

And  then,  whate'er  may  come, 
We'll  taste,  e'en  here,  the  hallowed  bliss 
Of  an  eternal  home.

2  May  Thy  rich  grace  impart 
Strength  to  my  fainting  heart,

Pure,  warm,  and  changeless  be; 

A  living  fire. 

3  While  life's  dark  maze  I  tread, 
And  griefs  around  me  spread, 

Be  Thou  my  Guide ;

Wipe  sorrow's  tears  away, 
Nor  let  me  ever  stray 
From  Thee  aside. 

_        4  When.ends  life's  transient  dream, 
When  death's  cold,  sullen  stream 

Shall  o'er  me  roll, 
Blest  Savior,  then,  in  love. 
Fear  and  distrust  remove ; 
O  bear  me  safe  above, 
A  ransomed  soul.

2  Swift  to  its  close  ebbs  out  life's  little  day; 
Earth's  joys  grow  dim,  its  glories  pass  away; 
Change  and  decay  in  all  around  I  see: 

O  Thou  who  changest  not,  abide  with  me! 

3  Not  a  brief  glance  I  beg,  a  passing  word, 

But  as  Thou  dwell'st  with  Thy  disciples,  Lord, 
Familiar,  condescending,  patient,  free: 
Come,  not  to  sojourn,  but  abide  with  me! 

Come  not  in  terrors  as  the  King  of  kings, 
But  kind  and  good,  with  healing  on  Thy  wings; 
Tears  for  all  woes,  a  heart  for  every  plea : 
O  Friend  of  sinners,  thus  abide  with  me! 

5  Thou  on  my  head  in  early  youth  didst  smile, 
And,  though  rebellious  and  perverse  meanwhile, 
Thou  hast  not  left  me,  oft  as  I  left  Thee: 
On  to  the  close,  O  Lord,  abide  with  me! 


(general.  47 

6  I  need  Thy  presence  every  passing  hour: 

What  but  Thy  grace  can  foil  the  tempter's  power? 
Who  like  Thyself  my  guide  and  stay  can  be? 
Through  cloud  and  sunshine,  O  abide  with  me ! 

7  I  fear  no  foe,  with  Thee  at  hand  to  bless : 
Ills  have  no  weight,  and  tears  no  bitterness. 
Where  is  death's  sting?  where,  grave,  thy  victory? 
I  triumph  still,  if  Thou  abide  with  me ! 

8  Hold  Thou  Thy  cross  before  my  closing  eyes; 
Shine  through  the  gloom,  and  point  me  to  the  skies ; 
Heaven's  morning  breaks,  and  earth's  vain  shadows  flee: 
In  life,  in  death,  6  Lord !  abide  with  me ! 

— Henry  Francis  Lyte,  1 847.

Then  lead  to  Jesus'  blood, 
And  to  our  wond'ring  view  reveal 
The  mercies  of  our  God. 

3  Revive  our  drooping  faith, 

Our  doubts  and  fears  remove, 
And  kindle  in  our  breasts  the  flame 
Of  never-dying  love. 


4  'Tis  Thine  to  cleanse  the  heart. 

To  sanctify  the  soul, 
To  pour  fresh  life  in  every  part, 
And  new-create  the  whole. 

5  Dwell,  Spirit,  in  our  hearts; 

Our  minds  from  bondage  free ; 
Then  shall  we  know  and  praise  and  love 
The  Father,  Son,  and  Thee.

Steps  unto  heaven ;

Bright  with  Thy  praise, 
Out  of  my  stony  griefs

Nearer  to  Thee!

Cleaving  the  sky,

Still  all  my  song  shall  be,

2  When  the  world  is  cold, 
Let  us  to  Thee  hold; 

When  the  cup  of  sorrow  draining, 
May  we  do  so  uncomplaining, 

For  through  trials  we 

Find  our  way  to  Thee. 

3  When  affliction's  smart 
Anguishes  the  heart  — 

Though  our  life  be  woe  and  weakness,

Help  us  bear  our  cross  in  meekness; 

May  we  keep  in  mind 

God's  a  Father  kind. 
4  Order  Thou  our  ways, 

Lord,  through  all  our  days; 
Though  our  path  be  dark  and  cheerless. 
Jesus  with  us,  we'll  be  fearless; 

Open,  when  life's  o'er, 

Lord,  to  us  Thy  door!

Nor  ever  murmur  nor  repine—

2  Ever  do  I  for  Thee  sigh, 
Nothing  else  can  satisfy; 
Ever  do  I  cry  to  Thee: 
Jesus,  Jesus,  come  to  me. 

3  Earthly  joys  can  give  no  peace, 
Ne'er  can  bid  my  longings  cease; 
Still  to  have  my  Jesus  near, 
This  is  all  my  pleasure  here. 

4  All  that  makes  the  angels  glad 
In  their  garbs  of  glory  clad, 
Only  fills  me  with  distress, 

If  Thy  presence  do  not  bless. 

5  Take  Thou  all  away  from  me, 
I  shall  still  thus  minded  be ; 
Thou  who  madest  me  Thine  own 
Shalt  be  all  my  joy  alone. 


1  I 

6  None  shall  claim  my  heart  beside, 
None  but  Jesus  crucified ; 
Savior,  I  am  only  Thine, 

Other  love  shall  ne'er  be  mine. 

7  Thou  alone,  my  God  and  Lord, 
Art  my  glory  and  reward ; 
Thou  hast  bled  for  me  and  died, 
I  will  be  no  other's  bride. 

8  Come,  then,  Lamb  for  sinners  slain, 
Come  and  ease  me  of  my  pain; 
Evermore  I  cry  to  Thee : 

Jesus,  Jesus,  come  to  me! 

9  Patiently  I  wait  and  pray, 
Jesus,  do  not  say  me  nay; 

That  when  death  shall  come  to  me, 
Thou  my  Jesus  sweet  wilt  be.

2  Something  for  Christ, 

Some  one  to  guide 
To  the  open  Fount 

At  the  Savior's  side ; 
With  earnest  zeal 

To  tell  of  Him, 
Something  each  day, 

Who  saves  from  sin. 

3  Something  for  Christ, 

Some  word  of  love 
To  point  the  way 
To  heaven  above; 


That  all.  OLord! 

May  feel  and  see 
That  we  each  day 

Have  been  with  Thee. 

Something  for  Christ — 

Let  us  begin, 
This  day,  this  hour, 

Some  work  for  Him, — 
'The  fields  are  white. 

The  laborers  few," 
Whate'er  Thy  will,

2  Like  a  mighty  army 

Moves  the  Church  of  God; 
Brothers,  we  are  treading 

Where  the  saints  have  trod. 
We  are  not  divided, 

All  one  body  we. 
One  in  hope  and  doctrine, 

One  in  charity. 

3  Crowns  and  thrones  may  perish, 

Kingdoms  rise  and  wane, 
But  the  Church  of  Jesus 
Constant  will  remain. 


Gates  of  hell  can  never 
'Gainst  the  Church  prevail : 

We  have  Christ's  own  promise, 
And  that  cannot  fail. 

4  Onward,  then,  ye  faithful, 
Join  our  happy  throng. 
Blend  with  ours  your  voices, 

In  the  triumph-song: 
Glory,  laud,  and  honor, 
Unto  Christ  the  King: 
This,  through  countless  ages. 
Men  and  angels  sing.

My  glory-circled  throne 
I  left,  for  earthly  night, 

For  wanderings  sad  and  lone;

Hast  thou  left  aught  for  Me?  :

More  than  thy  tongue  can  tell. 
Of  bitterest  agony.

At  Thy  sacred  feet, 
Here,  with  hearts  rejoicing,

In  the  way  we  go,

When  the  storm-clouds  lower; 
Pardon  Thou  and  save  us 

In  the  last  dread  hour.

May  we  join  above,

Then  come  rest  and  peace,

3  Dear  dying  Lamb!  Thy  precious  blood  5  Then  in  a  nobler,  sweeter  song, 
Shall  never  lose  its  power,  I'll  sing  Thy  power  to  save, 

Till  all  the  ransomed  Churcb  of  God       When  tbis  poor  lisping,  stammering 
Be  saved  to  sin  no  more.  Lies  silent  in  the  grave.         [tongue

We  should  never  be  discouraged, 

Take  it  to  the  Lord  in  prayer. 
Can  we  find  a  friend  so  faithful, 

Who  will  all  our  sorrows  share? 
Jesus  knows  our  every  weakness, 

Take  it  to  the  Lord  in  prayer.

Precious  Savior,  still  our  Refuge, — 

Take  it  to  the  Lord  in  prayer. 
Do  thy  friends  despise,  forsake  thee? 

Take  it  to  the  Lord  in  prayer; 
In  His  arms  He'll  take  and  shield  thee, 
Thou  wilt  find  a  solace  there.

Higher  than  the  heavens  above, 
Deeper  than  the  depths  of  sea. 
Lasting  to  eternity; 
Love  that  found  me, wondrous  thought! 
Found  me  when  I  sought  Him  not. 

3  Jesus  only  can  impart 
Balm  to  heal  the  smitten  heart, 
Peace  that  flows  from  sin  forgiven ;

Christ  is  all  in  all  to  me; 

All  my  wants  to  Him  are  known. 
All  my  sorrows  are  His  own ; 
Safe  with  Him  from  earthly  strife, 
He  sustains  the  hidden  life.

.  By  Thy  Spirit  and  Thy  Word  ! 
When  my  wayward  heart  would  stra}

And  owns  Thy  dreadful  sentence  just; 
Look  down,  O  Lord,  with  pitying  eye, 
And  save  the  soul  condemned  to  die. 

3  Then  will  I  teach  the  world  Thy  ways; 
Sinners  shall  learn  Thy  sovereign  grace; 
I'll  lead  them  to  my  Savior's  blood, 
And  they  shall  praise  a  pardoning  God. 

4  O  may  Thy  love  inspire  my  tongue; 
Salvation  shall  be  all  my  song, 
And  all  my  power  shall  join  to  bless 

The  Lord,  my  Strength  and  Righteousness.

Still  He  is  waiting, 
Waiting  the  penitent  child  to  receive. 

Plead  with  them  earnestly, 

Plead  with  them  gently ; 
He  will  forgive  if  they  only  believe. 


Wakened  by  kindness,

Hither  by  Thy  help  I'm  come; 
And  I  hope,  by  Thy  good  pleasure, 

Safely  to  arrive  at  home. 
Jesus  sought  me  when  a  stranger, 

Wandering  from  the  fold  of  God ; 
He,  to  rescue  me  from  danger, 

Interposed  His  precious  blood. 


Oh,  to  grace  how  great  a  debtor 

Daily  I'm  constrained  to  be! 
Let  Thy  goodness,  as  a  fetter, 

Bind  my  wandering  heart  to  Thee: 
Prone  to  wander,  Lord,  I  feel  it- 
Prone  to  leave  the  God  I  love- 
Here's  my  heart,  oh,  take  and  seal  it, 
Seal  it  for  Thy  courts  above.

2  Was  it  for  crimes  that  I  have  done 

He  groaned  upon  the  tree? 
Amazing  pity!  grace  unknown! 
And  love  beyond  degree! 

3  Well  might  the  sun  in  darkness  hide, 

And  shut  his  glories  in, 
When  God  the  mighty  Maker  died 
For  man  the  creature's  sin ! 


4  Thus  might  I  hide  my  blushing  face, 

While  His  dear  cross  appears; 
Dissolve  my  heart  in  thankfulness, 
And  melt  my  eyes  to  tears. 

5  But  drops  of  grief  can  ne'er  repay 

The  debt  of  love  I  owe ; 
Here,  Lord,  I  give  myself  away, 
'Tis  all  that  I  can  do. 

—Isaac  Watts,  1707.

Nor  take  it  in  vain ;

Trust  in  the  Lord!  His  favor 

Will  for  thy  wants  provide; 
Regard  His  Word!  and  ever 

Thy  work  shall  safe  abide. 
When  sorrows  here  o'ertake  thee, 

And  self-inflicted  care, 
Let  not  thy  God  forsake  thee, 

He  listens  for  thy  prayer. 


3  Should  Satan  league  his  forces, 
God's  purpose  to  withstand. 
Think  not  their  rage  and  curses 

Can  stay  His  lifted  hand. 
When  He  makes  known  His  pleasure, 

The  counsel  of  His  will. 
That,  in  its  utmost  measure, 
Will  He  at  last  fulfill

2  I  came  to  Jesus  as  I  was — 

Weary  and  worn  and  sad ; 

I  found  in  Him  a  resting-place, 

And  He  has  made  me  glad. 

3  I  heard  the  voice  of  Jesus  say, 

"Behold,  I  freely  give 
The  living  water— thirsty  one, 
Stoop  down,  anJ  drink  and  live." 


4  I  came  to  Jesus,  and  I  drank 

Of  that  life-giving  stream ; 
My  thirst  was  quenched,  my  soul  re- 
And  now  I  live  in  Him.  [vived, 

5  I  heard  the  voice  of  Jesus  say, 

"I  am  this  dark  world's  light; 
Look  unto  Me,  thy  morn  shall  rise, 
And  all  thy  day  be  bright." 


6  I  looked  to  Jesus,  and  I  found 
In  Him  my  Star,  my  Sun; 
And  in  that  light  of  life  I'll  walk 
Till  traveling  days  are  done.
